Why aren't VW Passat CCs available?
Three of my work colleagues and myself have ordred VW Passat CC 170GT, but have now been advised by Arnold Clarke Contracts that there are no cars available until 2012.
The first order was placed in Nov 2010 and we have been notified today, (11/03/11) that we must look for an alternative but similar spec.
What's VW up to? Is there a genuine problem and why the delay? Surely not the £ v Euro, because that would apply to VW Passat/Audi/Skoda etc
Have been offered Mazda 6 Sports 180 as alternative...not convinced.

That's a relief. It saves you from buying a car that frankly isn't very good. VW can probably get more for them from the Russians than from the Brits. Give me the Mazda 6 any day.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Very good looking, stylish alternative to the standard Passat. Coupe looks with plenty of rear passenger space. Quality improvements.
